On a recent trip to the mountains with some very strong sun, I noticed some weird flare from my K-5 using both my DA15 and FA31, shooting into the sun for starbursts.
Both were prob stopped down to f11 or more, only the FA31 had a filter (with 16x Hoya HMC coating) but the flare looked the same (it goes all around the sun with red/green "dots" in a square pattern). Similar to what I have seen on my cellphone sometimes.
The problem didnt appear in similar conditions a few days later (maybe the sun was weaker). My hypothesis is that it was just super strong light reflecting off the sensor.
Anyone recognize this?
The image is a big crop, the sun was in a top corner of a landscape for both. Unedited RAW
